“Now what else is the whole life of mortals but a sort of comedy, in which the various actors, disguised by various costumes and masks, walk on and play each one his part, until the manager waves them off the stage?” Desiderius Erasmus (1466 - 1536)

“A mask tells us more than a face.” Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)

“Society is a masked ball, where everyone hides his real character, and reveals it by hiding.” Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)

“No one can wear a mask for very long.” Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)

“Boldness can mask great fear.” Marcus Annaeus Lucanus (39 AD - 65 AD)

“Fortune does not change men, it unmasks them.” Suzanne Necker (1739 - 1794)

"Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within." James Baldwin (1924 - 1987)

Laurie Hutzler’s Emotional Toolbox approach incorporates many of the same materials Laurie uses in her popular courses at the famed UCLA film school. It’s the same method Laurie uses in her own work and in all of her international consulting.

The Emotional Toolbox makes intuitive sense—it’s based on universal truths we all know and understand instinctively. Learn to use these principals consciously to make informed creative choices. The Emotional Toolbox is easy to use, and most importantly, it works.
